That's right, move them goalposts [1]. Thanks for the reply, always a fan of you...

The "goalposts" haven't "moved".

Asm.js is still just JavaScript. Emscripten isn't currently production-grade software, and it still just compiles down to JavaScript.

I hope you understand that either of those options is still a case of using JavaScript. Are you seriously disputing that?

We can develop production-grade applications using Java, C, C++, C# and JavaScript for Android. We can only do a very small fraction of that when using Firefox OS. Firefox OS clearly provides far fewer viable options than Android does.

took you two sentences to contradict yourself and move the goalposts again. Nowhere were we talking about "production grade".

That's a strawman fallacy. [1]
